24
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: DJ Stewart around three o'clock. Three. Yeah, and by ten

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: o'clock he was a full carrot. I mean he quickly happens.

26
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: He was unbelievable today. He's been unbelievable since getting this,

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: like consistent playing time. But the two home runs, the

28
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: home run late in the game to tie it up,

29
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: and the walk off hit by pitch, it's just like

30
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: it's crazy. There was a stat from Mark Simon, who's

31
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: uh stat Info Solutions. I believe he's a smart dude,

32
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: knows his numbers, and he said that the Mets have

33
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: only had this happen one time before in their history,

34
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: and that was Whyer hit two home runs and had

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: a hit by pitch. And that was Carlos Delgado back

36
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven against the San Francisco Giants,

37
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: whose manager also weirdly was Bruce Bochie at the time.

38
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: So that's now happened twice to him against the Mets,

39
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: which is kind of crazy. Yeah, and you also forgot

40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: DJ Stewart's catch in the I believe there was ninth

41
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: inning crashing into the wall. Unbelievable play, Yeah, amazing, and

42
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: again ending with the walkoff hit by pitch. Last time

43
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: we saw a walkoff hit by pitch was a Michael

44
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: Kanford though game in twenty twenty one. You you and

45
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: your dad were at that game. Yeah, came right back

46
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: to my apartment right after. I think he had We

47
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: had some That might have been the last time I

48
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: had pizza. She's wow, had some pizza. Some good pizza

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: out there, and uh, just that's a while ago. It's crazy,

50
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: a while ago. That was one of the first ever

51
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: memes with different messed up podcast. Yeah, Adam Sandler a

52
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: little elbow sticking out the podcast began a fun times,

53
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: but just it's kind of yeah, like pull back a

54
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: little bit, if to look at the DJ Stewart thing

55
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: when an objective lens because at the end of the day,

56
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: this guy's eight home runs and fifty at bats now

57
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: for forty nine because the last one was to play

58
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: the appearances by pitch. The crowd and Cityfield was chanting

59
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: his name, DJ Stewart after he made that catch, shout

60
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: out razor. He played last night. The DJ saved my

61
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: life over the loud speaker, and it's just it really

62
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: never stopped and the game really only could have ended

63
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: on a crazy play like that from DJ Stewart, and

64
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: it was kind of beautiful. That's how it did go.

65
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: I told you, yeah, But when we were watching the

66
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: game late, I said, DJ Stewart's got to end this

67
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: like the Mets went down kind of quietly in the

68
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: ninth inning and then DJ Stewart comes up in the

69
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: tenth after intentional to walk to Pete Alonso and a

70
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: fantastic at bat by Francisco Alvarez. We know he's been

71
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit, but huge up bat against rold

72
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: As Chapman told, I looked at you this big for

73
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: the growth of Francisco Alvarez, like showing the patients, showing

74
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: that the moment's not too big for you know himself.

75
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: To get DJ Stewart to the plate first pitch bang

76
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: hit by pitch, walkoff winner and flipped the bat in

77
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: the air. That was via those favorite part of that.

78
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: And I liked the hubba bubba helmet. I don't know

79
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: if he did that himself. Lindor was the first guy

80
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: out there to greet him at first base, and they

81
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: chased him just like did Raphael Ortega last Sunday. So

82
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: also two walk off for the Mets in a week. Yeah,

83
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: very fun. But yeah, they threw the bubble gum all

84
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: over him, dumped the water him. DJ Stewart just wore

85
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: the Hubba Bubba helmet proudly. And I also want to

86
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: talk about what happened in that tenth th inning. Was

87
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Brigham, your boy, Brigham, boys, we're back, got into

88
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble in his second inning of work.

89
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I did a great job, ended up getting out of

90
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: it completely unscathed, which was great. But there was a

91
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: play where Pete there was a chopper hit by Travis

92
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Jankowski to Pete Alonso at first base charged it made

93
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: a really nice play, a great throw to Omar and

94
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Nerviaz of the plate who then turned to throwing it

95
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: back to first Jeff McNeil covering, and you saw the excitement,

96
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: the emotion, the just Jeff Brigham was screaming, pumped Jeff

97
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: mc neil as well, Pete Alonzo, all everybody on the

98
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: Mets was pumped. And they're just like the narrative that

99
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: we talked about before. There's a group of Mets fans

100
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: that want the Mets to tank for a better draft pick,

101
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: and it's the MLB Draft. We've talked about this so

102
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: many times. We won't go into it, but if there

103
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: was ever a doubt that these guys cared or didn't care,

104
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: whatever your opinion is like, or just still want it yeah,

105
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: or still want it. They This is a game relatively speaking,

106
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean a whole lot right now to the

107
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Mets season in terms of standings or a record, but

108
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: these guys want to win every single game, every single night,

109
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: no matter how late into the season it goes. And

110
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: it came after two very frustrating losses to the same

111
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers team the last two nights where the game

112
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: was in the balance late and the Mets weren't able

113
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: to pull it out. So you could just feel like

114
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: how badly they want to at least get one, like

115
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: not get swept. There's just these are professional athletes. This

116
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: is the peak of competition. There's so much pride that play.

117
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: There's so so many guys and team are also playing

118
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: for a lot. And you'll hear DJ Stewer talk about

119
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: that in the interview on Friday, that every single game

120
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: is such a huge deal for these guys who have

121
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: been on the fringes of rosters for so many years,

122
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: Like this is the difference between like a like a

123
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: life right here, like where you're gonna get your opportunity

124
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: again next year, we're you're gona get the opportunity after that,

125
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: and just show going up and doing everything you can

126
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: to win every single game means a lot, no super

127
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: refreshing because, like you said, it's very easy late in

128
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: the season to fall into a bit of a funk

129
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: of just like, yeah, season's over, what are we gonna do?

130
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: But these guys are still playing as hard as they

131
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: can every single night, and as a Mets fan, respect

132
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the hell out of that. Yeah. Also, just again to

133
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: get into the minutia of baseball for a second, in

134
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: that double play in the tenth inning, Travis Jankowski kind

135
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: of ducked out of the way and allowed the double

136
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: play to happen. That was something that we've heard now

137
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: that Gary and Ron were talking a lot about in

138
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: the broadcast, The fact that basically if he didn't do that,

139
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: like if he made it tough to make that throw,

140
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: the Rangers do get a run, and we don't know

141
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: what the outcome of that game winds up being. So

142
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: that was like a really weird play where it's also

143
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: probably just like a momentary thing, like I don't want

144
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: to get hit in and head of the ball, so

145
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm ducking out of instinct totally. Yeah, but like I

146
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: don't know, there's probably some other baseball players who would

147
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: quite do the opposite of that instinct. Yeah, I mean, listen,

148
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take it anyway we get it. Like,

149
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: that was a very good team win. DJ Sewart, like

150
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: we said, was the big hero in this game. Daniel

151
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: vogel Back as well, swinging the bat so so well.

152
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the last few episodes, but I

153
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: think he told me, like since the time off that

154
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: he had, he has like a one to twenty WRC

155
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: plus ten home runs and one hundred and forty played appearances.

156
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: He's playing really well. That's the Daniel vogel Back we

157
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: fully expected the season. Yeah, and it's just disappointing. It

158
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: took a little while to get there, but it's still

159
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: still a lot doing a lot of damage to the

160
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: play very consistently I'm gonna get those numbers right now

161
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: quickly because I said that before, But I feel like

162
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: there might be even a couple more home runs in there. Okay,

163
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: and WRC plus has won twenty even entering in a game,

164
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: then he hit a home run, So let's see right here,

165
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: that was I mean, he just looks so much more

166
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: comfortable at the plate too. He's been aggressive, which is

167
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: something I think that a lot of Mets fans and

168
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's even happy to do now because it's

169
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: it's working. It's working. The aggressiveness, completely aggressive, being slow

170
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: on me, fangrapt has always been slow. Eleven home runs,

171
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four WRC plus with a two

172
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: fifty three twenty forty eighty five triple slash pretty much

173
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: exactly what we would probably guess like for Daniel vogel

174
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: back if he came into the season. Yeah, that's that's

175
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: over the over full season. That's like more than a

176
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: thirty home run pace. Yeah, no, I mean it was.

177
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: It was a good win. Denny Reyes doing a great

178
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: job on the mound. Talk about that briefly. Denny Reyes

179
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: came back after long stint in the Mind League, where

180
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: he was stretched all the way out to become a star.

181
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: The he'd thrown six innings in his last two minor

182
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: league appearances, and we saw him last time he was

183
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: much more of a two seamer sinkerballer. He came out

184
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: four steam fastballs as slivish today, mixing in a col

185
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: and the velocity was down because last time we saw

186
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: him in the major leagues it was more of like

187
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: a one to three inning role. This time he got

188
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: out there for the sixth inning and you can see

189
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: him kind of run out of the gas after that

190
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: fifth and like kind of loose his zip on that fastball.

191
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: But it's side. I got five withs and eight swings.

192
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: It looked honestly pretty good doing it. Last weep on

193
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: it and a lot of drop on it as well.

194
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Look look at good out from Denny Rayce and someone

195
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: that I think flashed like a little bit early in

196
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: the year but then probably was just overexposed because of

197
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: our lack of pitching depth. But someone who I think

198
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: probably gets a chance to do something over the next

199
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Yeah, showed us enough to get another

200
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: shot without a doubt. Yeah, and again this game, all

201
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: y'all know is DJ Stewart, Dj Stewart. This was like

202
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: messed up Bump, messed up Bump. Twitter was a Blaze

203
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: interview coming out on Friday, possibly all the graft Ball

204
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: giveaway coming out when you guys listening to this on Thursday,

205
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on Twitter for that. But this

206
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: was the absolutely the pinnacle of this series. Now, to

207
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a step back look at

208
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: the series as a whole here, obviously Mets lost this series,

209
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: but there's a couple of big storylines coming into this one.

210
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: First off being Max ers are back at City Field,

211
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: and we saw that the Mets fans were not particularly

212
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: happy to see him boo and Max ers are. You're

213
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: never gonna catch us booing like a player. It's it's

214
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: you pretty much have to be Chase Utley or Roger

215
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: Clemens for me to boo you like otherwise. Yeah, the Braves, Yeah,

216
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: the couple of the Braves, because those guys have no attachment.

217
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: But like for the most part, I mean, Max Scherzer

218
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: was so awesome to us, so I have no ill

219
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: will towards him many times, awesome to us on accent

220
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: and awesome to us on purpose, yes, which is really great.

221
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: But with chars are coming back, there was a flock

222
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: of journalists who were ready to get sound by some

223
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer, and there was quite a good article from

224
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Tim Britton that really summed up a lot of Shozer's

225
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: return on the Athletic. You gots check that outf you're

226
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: a subscribe. But the big question I feel like a

227
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: lot of people were asking Scherzer was again just about

228
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: waving their trade clause in two, just about the Mets clubhouse,

229
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: because that's been a hot un issue in the relationship

230
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: with Justin Verlander. I think Cherizer gave a bit of

231
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: a tongue in cheek answer when asked about Verlander, where

232
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: he was like, we're better off right now we've ever been.

233
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of funny because right now they're

234
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: not in the same team. So I thought that was funny.

235
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: But then he also just completely reaffirmed everything about the Cohens,

236
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: about the Mets management, about the clubhouse, saying that it

237
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: was all a great situation here. It just didn't work out.

238
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: Just the team wasn't winning. Sometimes you lose, yeah, sometimes

239
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: you lose baseball games. That's how it is. And the

240
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: shares are set a lot to a lot of other

241
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: media outlets since. But again, this Tim Bretton article really

242
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: puts a lot together and everyone was trying to grab

243
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: a quote from shares of the media. Storm was a blaze,

244
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: And you saw a similar sentiment shared in the DSHA

245
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: article as well, talking about petere A Lonzo. Everybody loves him,

246
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: he's great in the clubhouse. Yeah, I mean we've been

247
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: around him plenty of times, have only amazing things to

248
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: say about Pets. He was super nice to us and

249
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: he has no reason to be nice to us and

250
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: been around people, have been around pe A loons and

251
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: he also all say amazing things about him. You guys

252
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: saw that clip of Danielvogel back at spring training talking

253
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: about how great p It is both on the field,

254
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: off the field, in the clubhouse with young players, with everybody,

255
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: how much he loves having him around. So definitely check

256
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: out that DSH article if you're interested in hearing the truth.

257
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: And she did a great job. And we've told you

258
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: guys since the beginning DSHA. Tim Britton, like, those are

259
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: two of the ghats right there. Yeah, Like, if you

260
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: want Mets content, like those two are some of the

261
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: best there are one hundred percent. Now to talk about

262
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: more of the games here, let's go back to Game

263
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: one pictures du major pitchers, major pitchers, John Gray, Tyler

264
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: and McGill. Yes, and we got some early home runs

265
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: from DJ Stewart, just continuing that hot spurse. One of

266
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: the eight home runs or now it's nine home runs

267
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: and fifty to fifty at bats, whatever it is to

268
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: get us on the lead and brand Nemo with another one,

269
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: just keep pushing up his career high total I think

270
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: is at nineteen now, yeah, nineteen now. But yeah, interesting.

271
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: Also an interesting article on The Athletic also from Tim

272
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: Britten about Brandimo's approach at the plate. Your boy, yeah,

273
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: as a friend, but just about how brand Nemo in

274
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: his career was always so just ready to like put

275
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: his bat in the ball or just like take his

276
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: pitches and take his walks. But now part of the

277
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Mets like hitting philosophy is you kind of have to

278
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: wait for that mistake, wait for your pitch, like sometimes

279
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: the pitch on the edge, instead of protecting as long

280
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: as there's not two strikes, yes, let that one go

281
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: by and get one you can hit, because like there's

282
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: always the next strike, the next strike the next strikes.

283
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot of cool research done about how swing

284
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: rates affect power output and just player production in general.

285
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: It gets pretty interesting. Fangrass had log and stuff about

286
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: that in the last year, but there are from Nimo.

287
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Was cool because he is having so much more power.

288
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: We've ever seen him happen. It's coming bunches, yes, last

289
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. Now a lot in these

290
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: last few weeks. Talked about trimming the fat and his wing.

291
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: He talked about his own blast metrics and we've known thing, yeah,

292
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: we've known going back year. Is like how upfront Nemo

293
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: has been about advanced stats and how much he likes

294
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: daven how much it helps him play. So really cool

295
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: to hear him talk about that and then see it

296
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: actually go onto the field one hundred percent. I mean,

297
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: Nimo has been so great for us every single day.

298
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: We were always big fans of Nemo. We always bang

299
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: the drum. He's one of the most underrated players in

300
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: the league, and just being able to develop that power

301
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: now and add that to his arsenal makes him even better. Also,

302
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: It's funny because I wrote this outline this morning. I

303
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: was looking at him and I see the DJ Stewart

304
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: stats and it looks stupid. Now, Oh, one thousand ops,

305
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: that's much higher now, six home runs he has more

306
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: than that one seventy two WRC plus in August. It's

307
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: way higher now, it's probably one of the top three

308
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: in all of baseball. It's ridiculous. How good this guy is. No,

309
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: he's been he's been so great. DJ Stewart the King, Okay,

310
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Mietrice Jerome and something else cool to happen in Game

311
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: one was another step in the right direction for Tyler

312
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: McGill Yepho's had his best string of starts in years

313
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: during during August, since he came back from Triple A.

314
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: I was about to say, like, pretty much since since

315
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: the injury last year, you've seen spurts of Tylor, You've

316
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: seen little specks of like, oh, he's coming back, he's

317
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: coming back. But this one I think solidified, like, Okay,

318
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: he's feeling healthy, he's feeling good. Whatever changes were made

319
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: at Triple A, they're sticking now because this was probably

320
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: the best start of his season right probably it was

321
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: the fourth time this year he completed six innings, and

322
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: he went six innings, only gave one run to the

323
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: vaunted Rangers lineup five hits, one walk, eight strikeouts. Those

324
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts were a season high, with either tying or

325
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: just one inning behind the season high for innings, and

326
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: if lost, he was up again. Something we've been telling

327
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: you guys about a lot on this show. His fastball

328
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: average ninety five point eight miles an hour, and now

329
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: is every single start since he's returned from Triple A

330
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: his fastball has been at least ninety five and a

331
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: half miles an hour, and his fastest pitch of the

332
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: night was ninety eight point two miles an hour. That

333
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: was his third fastest pitch of the season. I keep

334
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: updating the stat every single time I talk to you guys,

335
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: but now thirty of his thirty two fastest pitches this

336
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: season have come since he was called back to the

337
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: major leagues. Yeah, I mean those first five innings cruising,

338
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: absolutely cruising. Got to the six guy a little dicey,

339
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: but even just being able to get through that. And

340
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: this is something we have talked about with Tyler in

341
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: the past. Like some he's got some dog, He's got

342
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: some dog for sure. He's been able to get out

343
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: of difficult situations, get out of trouble, and he did

344
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: it again in the sixth inning stuff. That's just so

345
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: huge for the development of a pitcher like Tyler and McGill.

346
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: Who I mean, he made that opening day Starting before

347
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: that he had pretty little experience even pitching professionally. Yeah,

348
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season, that was like a real moment

349
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: in time, you know, for Tyler McGill. But something that's

350
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: always been so important for Tyler McGill is velocity. How

351
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: important velocity is. He's a fastball forward guy. It's about

352
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: two thirds of pitches he throws. It was that way

353
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: again on Monday night. And for this season. When he

354
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: throws his fastballs in ninety six miles an hour or above,

355
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: hiers have an expected will above two ninety five, it's

356
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: well below the league average. When he throws his fastball

357
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: less than ninety six miles an hour, hiss haven't expected

358
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: will before sixty six, that's well above the league average.

359
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: And that's well above the league average just on fastballs

360
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: that aren't ninety six miles an hour or great there

361
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: it's about four hundreds hair below. So you could just

362
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: tell how important of this And in that was fifty

363
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: six innings when that game got dicey for Tyler mcgn

364
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: The Rangers had five of their nine hard hit balls

365
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: just then, including four of the five hardest they hit

366
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: besides one that Corey Seeger hit in the first ending.

367
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: Because he's just because he's the he's a man among boys.

368
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: He's he's doing his ridiculous And he threw only one

369
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: fastball above ninety six miles an hour in those fifth

370
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: and six innings and it was to strike out Robbie

371
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Grossman's and that's six with two men on, no huge.

372
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: So that comes to what you're talking about, where him

373
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: being a little bit of a dog, him knowing when

374
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: he has to rear back and get that last pitch.

375
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: And that was the last pitch he threw in the game,

376
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: and it was the hardest he throw in two innings.

377
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: But that is just that's gonna be the key for

378
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: Tyler McGill, whether or not he can hang on and

379
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: really be a true major league starting pitchers. How he

380
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: can maneuver that velocity, maintain that velocity and get there.

381
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Is that with it? Yeah? Now, of course you guys

382
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: saw the game. The bullpen ended up giving this one

383
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: up for us, which is unfortunate. I mean, it's gonna happen.

384
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: Corsuli rough outing, but I will say the lefties that

385
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: he did have to go up against some of the

386
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: better hitting lefties in the league. It's not like this

387
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: is Giermo Heredia. No, definitely, and then Trevor got wound

388
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: up blowing in the night. This was probably the most

389
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: upset I'd been for a game in like over a month. Yeah,

390
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: like some of the bad emotions came, it hurt first

391
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: half of the season. Yeah, I was really upset about

392
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: this one. I was angry. Yeah, I mean, listen, like

393
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: it comes in ghosts, comes in ghosts for sure, But

394
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: this one, this will hurt because the Mets played like

395
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: a good game and Tyler McGill pitched so well, and

396
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: the Rangers are are a good ball club. So to

397
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: be able to put together like nine nings a good

398
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: baseball to beat a team that's competing for a playoff spot,

399
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I like the Rangers, but I'd love to

400
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: spoil their season. You know, it is fun and you

401
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: did feel like again this series bittersweet, but there was

402
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: every single game is completely winnable, super really fun to spoil,

403
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: like a playoff run for a team like this especially

404
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: just like that little bit of like craziness inside of you,

405
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: where like we traded them something and got prospects back,

406
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: and then we can spoil their season, Like we can

407
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: do something knock them out of the playoffs. That would

408
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: be nice. Yeah, Like that's that like really evil thing

409
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: that you want to have as a spoiler at the

410
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: end of the Mets fans like, I want to ruin

411
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: somebody's day, and we could have done that. We did

412
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of that on on Wednesday, and one

413
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: of my buddy's works for the Astros was texting me

414
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: like ALFGM, like, oh my god, I didn't even realize

415
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: that's why he was texting you. Oh that just clicked

416
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,320

419
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: because we do the podcast and justice. It's not just

420
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: true altruism. It was like I wanted to get some spots.

00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: going on. I told us he wanted to take a pic,

458
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: take a flick something so we could get some clout.

459
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: I think he said, no, let's flick up. Let's walk

460
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,960

475
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: catching strays out of nowhere.

476
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really say strays. Yeah, it wasn't much of

477
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: a on shots. It's all. It's all things you've heard before.

478
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: Vedo says, James, did uh did Julia fall like?

479
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,200

00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: she fell for your nice guy. Hey, I'm just trying

481
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: to have a nice conversation, which I was. That's it.

482
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: John Is. If there's anything John Is is a nice guy,

483
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: nice guy, the nice guy. Actually, I'll never slander John there.

484
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say my fiance is convinced John doesn't like

485
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: her because anytime she comes into the control room, he

486
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: gets weird.

487
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: Like all my cousins said the same thing about John.

488
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: They were really disappointed me. I was a bad to Jo,

489
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: you know. To see they also we went back and

490
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: saw him Colin f that THEAH guy, and it was

491
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: just so funny. They were like, Wow, he's talking the

492
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: mic and that goes into the stadium. I was like, yeah,

493
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, think about like when we first started doing

494
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: the podcast here and just like seeing all the behind

495
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: the scenes stuff that we get to see and just

496
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: like existing in the same I think even today I

497
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: told you, like you believe we're just walking around here

498
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: like it's it's a very surreal experience. I think, like

499
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: from the outside perspective. No, yeah, because when you come

500
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: to these games, everything is like kind of mystical, like

501
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: there's someone talking over there, there's things on the scoreboard

502
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: over there and everything. People are playing games in between endings.

503
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: There's music playing. I don't know how it's playing. And

504
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: now seeing how all of those things actually have the

505
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: sausage is made, Yeah, this it is like shocking and

506
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: this very sausage park sausage. That's Turkey sausage. James were

507
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: those were those your uncle's kids, those were that's different

508
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: side of my family. Okay, good, yeah me, yes, mom's side. Yes.

509
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: How did I know? Well, because I just said it

510
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: was the other side, and that was my dad's brother.

511
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know that the one that he shouldn't talk to. Yeah.

512
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: Now they're they're there as salt of the earth. They're

513
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: two good guys. They're great people. They're great people. I've

514
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: met them, right the Barbie. Yeah, yeah, so much fun

515
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: to talk ball with. I mean also, like because one

516
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: of them is just such an encyclopedia, like he's been

517
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: going to Mets game since like the sixties. John's got

518
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: to meet him. That's John's future. John would love now

519
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: this is John because he'll because he'll say why John's

520
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: on the podcast Johnny Stats. There's another funny thing that

521
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: happened yesterday at the game. So the my dad was

522
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: just fratnizing with security guards. I think he also got

523
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: tired of hanging out with like nineteen seventeen year olds

524
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: a lot. So my dad's talking one security guards down

525
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: in left field and he gives my dad a trivia

526
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: question and I want to give it to you guys too.

527
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: Right now, The only two pitchers in Major League history

528
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: to have at least three hundred and fifty wins and

529
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: not win a Cy Young. I think Nolan Ryan. That'd

530
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: be my bank. Nolan Ryan did not have three inch

531
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: or fifty wins. I mean, this is a lot of wins,

532
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: but this is part of the story. Oh, I can

533
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: guess one Cy Young, that's one. The award wasn't a

534
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: round back then. That's why Matthewson, that's twosh trick question.

535
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: But what happened was security guard didn't say Christy Maddison.

536
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: He said Nolan Ryan and Cy Young. But my dad

537
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: was like, I don't. I don't think Noe Ryan three

538
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: in fifty wins and the guy win in buds. And

539
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: once we got in the car afterwards, he's like, no

540
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: one Ran didn't have thtere in or fifty ones. I looked

541
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: it up. He was like, no way. He was like,

542
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: I knew it. How mean did he have three twenty

543
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: four lots? Still still Also, he was only an eight

544
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: time All Star and they were scattered across over fifteen years. Interesting.

545
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that really weird for someone who's considered one of

546
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: the best like pitchers in baseball? He also like had

547
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: the weird thing going on though when he played that

548
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: he he walked so many guys that like that used

549
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: to get. I mean, imagine how angry the old heads,

550
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: as we say on the podcast get Now imagine walking

551
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: a guy like in the in the eighties. So he

552
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: did walk a lot, I know, but just imagine walking

553
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: guys in the eighties. He he has that record for

554
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: the most hits per nine innings Nolan Ryan six points silowest. Yes, yeah,

555
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: doesn't Sy Young have the most walks issued ever? Well,

556
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: he's pitched by far the most innings. Nolan Ryan for

557
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: his career was a four point seven walks per nine

558
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's a lot of what he would

559
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: pitched nine innings every game. Yes, so yeah. He also

560
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: is the most walks given up in the history of

561
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: baseball one year, nineteen seventy seven, a year he actually

562
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: came in third for the Sy Young in twenty fourth

563
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: in the MVP. He walked two hundred and four batthers

564
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: and struck out three hundred and forty one shot out

565
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan. Yeah. Is he part of the Rangers or Astros? Now?

566
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: I think he's part of the Astro. He was a

567
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: part of the Rangers for a while. Then he and

568
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: Tommy Hunter, CJ. Wilson, all those guys. Yeah, he told

569
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: him to pitch as much as you want because he

570
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: doesn't believe in the pitch count. They had a successful

571
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: litt run. Yeah they did, almost won the World Series.

572
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: But back to the game. Back to the game. That's

573
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: enough talked about my my family was a king Dana. Yes,

574
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: another good start, just good picture. Six innings, three hits

575
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: nowhere and scattered a bunch of base runners, always in control.

576
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: Cool adjustment that he made. His curve ball has been

577
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: a very big pitch for him, not just this year,

578
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: but his entire career, and the Rangers didn't swing at

579
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: one curveball that no swings to the curveballs, and then

580
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: he totally opted out of that and was throwing four

581
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: seemers and change ups. Completely switched up his rapertoire because

582
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean good, yeah, because usually you can throw that

583
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: singer and the curveball kind of works off the singer

584
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: because one drops and one drops a lot more. But yeah,

585
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: so I went through it, and he's gone at least

586
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: five in every single start, and at least six and

587
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: every start except for two yeah. I mean he's been really,

588
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: really sold. Should we say it again, just one more time? Yeah,

589
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: just say it? Yeah. I mean wow, imagine where we

590
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: could have been if we had him all year. It

591
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: may would have been different. They would have a lot different.

592
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: And then the only run came out in Viento's home run. Yes,

593
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: I did not get to see it. I had a

594
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: fantasy football draft to run too. Mark belled early. I

595
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: bailed early. I was I was one of those guys

596
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: nine o'clock fantasy football draft. You know, you gotta just

597
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta hang out with the boys and make

598
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: some of the picks. But I will say got a

599
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: little rant here about the drive Was it called drive share? Yeah? Ride?

600
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: The wide share situation was that it was like nine

601
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: o'clock basically when I called my whatever was gonna pick

602
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: me up? And I'm standing outside by the by the

603
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: spot that they have designated for the ride share, and

604
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: there was at least fifteen drivers standing outside of their

605
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: car smoking cigarettes, and you could hear the bing bing

606
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: bing going off for requests, deny, deny, deny, deny. I

607
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: didn't get out of here until the actual game ended

608
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: because someone was like, oh, I'll pick you up now, Yeah,

609
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: but they no one would pick you up. I sat

610
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: out there for thirty five minutes. I wasn't the only person.

611
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: There was like twenty thirty other people waiting for someone

612
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: to accept their ride. Just you know, I understand, get

613
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: your money, get your bread. I'm all about it. Game.

614
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: Game is game, But I would have appreciated if someone

615
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: was sho a little more urgency, a little go get

616
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: her Yeah and again, now back to the game. That

617
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: home run from Biento's came off and rolled as Chapman

618
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: singer one hundred miles an hour, hundred point eight actually exactly.

619
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: And this is a stat per John and nobody else

620
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: before him. John tweeted in the morning, I went before John.

621
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: I found that after. I really didn't know that anyone else.

622
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: Of course, no one would have tweeted that the eight

623
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: hours before you tweeted it. So many people sweet it.

624
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: Sarah Langs tweeted a lot of people tweeted it hardest

625
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: home run of Mets hit, hardest pitch of home run,

626
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: hardest pitch. I met his home run off of the

627
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: stack cast era. Per John and nobody else are Johnny stats,

628
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm giving I'm giving credits we're giving to John. I

629
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: went home last night.

630
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: I was like, that was that was a fast pitchy

631
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: homer because what happened was the home run was hit.

632
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then like I think it was two pitches later,

633
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: Game Man over like that in the ending that like

634
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: that was like three pitches before it. Yeah.

635
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 2: So I got home decompressing and I was like, that

636
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: was a fast pitch. And then video and I record

637
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: a future of flushing and I went to sleep and

638
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: I woke up. I was like, oh, I should actually

639
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: look into that. And I was like wow, and I

640
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: saw it was the fastest. I was like, gotta tweet

641
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: it because you a lot. I was going to text

642
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: these guys and then I was like, oh, but if

643
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: I do that, then Mark's just kind of tweeted.

644
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: Of course, the engagement that's not in my repertoire of

645
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: that's that's too many numbers, too many. Yeah, Like I

646
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: gotta do something that's like, I don't know, a little

647
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: more catchy. I've got a quicker you know. Also, you're

648
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: kind of working well.

649
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: Vito told me something recently because I had a thought,

650
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we were talking about, like, you know, would

651
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: be a fun YouTube content series. When Vito went to France,

652
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: I was like, if you want someone book your travel

653
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: for you and you have no idea where you're going,

654
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: and you just back randomly and then you show up

655
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: and you find out and you go, that's super things.

656
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: And then Vito was like, John that's a that's a thing. Yeah.

657
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, well, I'm not original, and

658
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: Vito said, no, if.

659
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: You didn't realize that that was already that no idea, it's.

660
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 2: Original, original thoughts. I swear I didn't actually see anyone

661
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 2: else tweet it. And then after I was like, oh.

662
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I got one more question. Part. I

663
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: love that you're decompressing from work, is going home and

664
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: thinking about more baseball. I respect that. Yeah, a baseball

665
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: couch as opposed to in the control rooms a baseball guy.

666
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: It is very hard to focus in that control room.

667
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: If you guys remember we did a lot of podcasts

668
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: in there last year and it is the most screens

669
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: per square foot. Yeah, it's a lot. So this is

670
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: especially Johnson in that blue light all night long. He

671
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: compressed with a smaller blue light. It's probably nice blue

672
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: light glasses, yes or no contacts, baby, he blue light

673
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: contacts No, I'm just contacts. Yeah, will play on his classes.

674
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: We've seen John's glasses like three times. Ever, that's true. No,

675
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: last year when you guys first met me, I was

676
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: glasses all the time. Oh yeah yeah that was very

677
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: change change after that once you went Hollywood on us.

678
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. I do actually have other some other

679
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: cool numbers about that. Vanto's home run. We have talked

680
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: a lot about in this show about how a big

681
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: hole for Viano's has been facing velocity. Saw that going

682
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: back from the minor leagues, and he's actually performed pretty

683
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: well against velosity so far in the major league. Sample

684
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: is incredibly small. He's only seen twenty five pitches in

685
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: ninety seven miles an hour or harder. He's only had

686
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: five swings and misses and fourteen total swings. So I

687
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: went frased. Pretty high swing striker, it's also pretty high.

688
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: But he's watched seven balls go past him and he

689
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: has three extra base hits, including two home runs and

690
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: a double off of Felix Bautista. Yeah, which I mean,

691
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess maybe he's adjusted in to the villa. Well, yes,

692
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: maybe it's just like you find your pitcher do damage

693
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: you Cono's coming to take a hack at it, and

694
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean Biento's he hit a lot of hard hit

695
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: balls this series, a lot of hard hit balls. He's

696
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: someone that's gonna be his path, that's gonna be what

697
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: it is. But the other thing that Vienza's doing just

698
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, play devil's after going on the other side.

699
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: It's really felt like a lot of his at bats

700
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: you just kind of blink and all of a sudden

701
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: it's oh one, O two, and you're like, oh, maybe

702
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: that's feel like I'm just thinking that maybe it's just

703
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: I feel like that's worse. But it actually has happened

704
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: a lot this year. He's been behind in the count

705
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: heading into Wednesday's am I grabbed the stats Wednesday morning.

706
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent of the time he's been behind the count,

707
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: the league average twenty nine percent. That's pretty pretty well

708
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: above league average. And he's gone oh two as of

709
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning in twenty of US one hundred and thirty

710
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: eight at bats. That's fourteen point five percent and the

711
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: league average is ten point six percent. So he definitely

712
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: is falling behind more often. I think that is because

713
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: pitchers probably are attacking with those fastballs because that is

714
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: something that you can get an early strike on. So

715
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye for Vinzo is he still

716
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: has the great power. The approach still needs some work,

717
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: a lot to work with here, one hundred percent. I

718
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a game of patients, practice of patients, patial,

719
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: a battle with the prospects all the time. Not everyone.

720
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna be an overnight wan so tho, No, of

721
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: course not. I mean like DJ Stewart's twenty ine years old,

722
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: he had a huge breakout season twenty twenty, didn't get

723
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: many chances in between then and now he's having one

724
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: of the best months of anybody in Major League Baseball.

725
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: Let's go DJ, DJ s guy. The interview was great, awesome. Yeah,

726
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: some crazy stories about DJ as a high schooler, one

727
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 1: of the most accomplished high school athletes ever. Yeah, we'll

728
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: say we'll save the details. Its just telling you, guys

729
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: that some school teammates in college just keep an eye

730
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: on for it, which I think believe leads us to

731
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: the estimate. Yes, John, what was our last estimate?

732
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: It was total hits with the rest during the series,

733
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: and I totally dropped the ball.

734
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: Okay, didn't and didn't look into it yet. So let

735
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: me ask you.

736
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: Was was Jamis Winston at Florida State when DJ was there?

737
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Well, teaser, Maybe we're not gonna give you the answer.

738
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to you're not listen to the interview. Yeah,

Speaker 1: you've done that a lot? Yeah, yeah, yeah a lot

744
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: of times, like almost every episode that is on Zoom.

745
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah we do stream yard stream yard, Yeah, every stream

746
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: ra of episode. Yeah, come on, bo we got if

747
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: you can't be cappin and bleep that. Okay, are you

749
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, is a big one. John John John John John,

750
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: Johnny John Johnny Is John. When my sister first met

751
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: you that month ago, she thought that you were younger

752
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: than us. No, she didn't. Well you know what, that's

753
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: a compliment, though, compliment like I'm not aging terrible, ye know,

754
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: and you you got a young soul. He was like,

755
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: what was he like twenty four four? Look a look

756
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: at that smile. He can't off. We're gonna do something

757
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: a little different with the estimate this series, because originally

758
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,719
Speaker 1: it was gonna be abut Julio Rodriguez, but now he

759
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: is questionable. He was a football term footballs around the corner.

760
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna double up two for for the people. First,

761
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: let's reveal the last one. There were seven total hits

762
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: with risp not a lot in the series. So had twelve.

916
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: like that.

917
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what is the vehicle for

918
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: for getting one wet?

919
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: I think we're just gonna have to like get three

920
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: smart water bottles and just kind of fill them up

921
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, just stand over. Stand maybe in the bathroom

922
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,799

Speaker 1: gonna lick you. Yeah, okay, we could do that, yeah

924
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: or James probably John probably John. This feels like a

925
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: little a water gun. Could we du we have? We

926
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: saw dump tired. We did see that. I saw dunk

929
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: And that's the real question.

Speaker 2: Now, I'm like, does let's say, let's say the who'sis cover?

Speaker 2: Did it to a US?

933
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: Crazy?

934
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: If that happens? James, Am I dumping it on you?

935
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: Or is everyone dumping?

936
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: Like? What's the Oh you can dump it? Yeah, you

937
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,280

00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: say that. Anyone can dump saying this.

939
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 2: And the socks have to get nothing's worse than what socks.

940
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,400

950
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: usually the start of it will need to embellish, but

951
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: all right, we're two minuses and thirty seconds.

952
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: We gotta stop football talks. I also never know what

953
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: I did for my birthday back in school.

954
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want to go back to the Mariners.

955
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: Back to the Mariners preview the Mariners series. Now, guys,

956
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: getting the pitching matches for you real quick. Because I

957
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: was looking at the Ohio State Indiana spread. John tried

958
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: to John tried to sneak a point out of me.

959
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: Is that their chance? Yeah, they're all bad. It's like

960
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: one of the worst yesterday you played it during the

961
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: college thing that was the Indiana fights. You have a

962
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: fighting up. It's up. No more college football for the

963
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: next episode where someone's gonna be wet. Two minutes episode

964
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: pitching matchups for the Mariners series. The Mariners have maybe

965
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: the best pitching staff in all of baseball. They are

966
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: a really, really, really fun world series pick for that reason.

967
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: Also a very hot lineup with a lot of Andrea players.

968
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: Friday Night, Codi Sango Versus Logan, Gilbert Logan. Gilbert's broken

969
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: down a big way this year. Saturday. Right now, it's

970
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: scheduled to be Carlos Carrasco, but he is on waivers,

971
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: so We're not sure if that's going to be him

972
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: or not, depending on if he gets claimed or not.

973
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: Versus Luis Castillo, who has just become one of the

974
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: best pitchers in baseball. He's like, LOGI should win this

975
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: eye young no, yeah, kind of hike shit, Yeah, he's fit, sensational,

976
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: and then Sunday Afternoon won for the David Peterson versus

977
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: Brian Wu. Brian Wu's electric. Brian Wu is really fun.

978
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: Brian Wo throws three different fastballs and he puts them

979
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: in perfect places to strike, So some guys keep an

980
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: eye out for Big Dumper cal Raley. Cal Raley just

981
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: quietly one of the better catchers in baseball, very good defensively,

982
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: twenty five home runs, switch hitter seven to seventy six ops.

983
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: Ty France is quiet but boring, but also good. He's

984
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: kind of there. Mark Cannell will be a little Ty Frances,

985
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: a little Cheerios in him. Yeah, but Ty Frans also

986
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: taking a major step back. He had a lot of

987
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: love like the popcorn stats for the last few years,

988
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: people thought he was much better than he was. He's

989
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: just light light hiding corner in his home runs became

990
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: doubles this year. Now. Yeah, JP Crawford, I love Jamie Crawford.

991
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Jab crawl was probably one of the most underrated players

992
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: in the entire league. He's rock gonna one thirty the

993
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: WRSC plus with near similar walks and strikeouts. The defensive

994
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: metrics are gone way down this year, which is really

995
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: weird for JP Crawford. But he's a dog. He keeps

996
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: that team moving. He seems like kind of the heart

997
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: and soul of the whole thing, the veteran besides Jay Rodd,

998
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: who is the heart and soul of the whole thing. Yeah,

999
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: he's a really good ball player. He's really grinded his

1000
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: way from being a lead prospect that kind of disappointed.

1001
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: Now just slowly getting better.

1002
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 2: I know.

1003
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: He went to drive line this past winter as well,

1004
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: added some megs of velocity and it's really shown his results.

1005
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: If you're watching the YouTube version of this, my jaw

1006
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: dropped because I saw Mike Forda's thirteen home runs and

1007
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: six doubles in sixty games. Yeah, you know that a

1008
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: huge reason for their like month long of success. Man.

1009
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: I bet you a team in New York on the

1010
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: side of the Bronx would really wish they had him.

1011
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: Right about now and get it out of him. Geez man,

1012
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: Mike fortunately playing that well, let's blowing my mind an

1013
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 1: instant guy. Yeah, and the Mariners also are the first

1014
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: team ever to win twenty one games in a month.

1015
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: Really happened today? Wow? First team ever? Yeah? I don't know,

1016
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't believe. That feels untrue, tweeted, and

1017
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Sarah Lang tweeted it. Okay, oh wait, okay, so this

1018
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: is okay. So co taking shots here on Twitter. Code

1019
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: five said first team ever, which doesn't feel true. No,

1020
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: it could be true, but doesn't feel true. Sometimes on

1021
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: Twitter you have to kind of do that. Sarah Lang said,

1022
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: the most in a calendar month in franchise history. That

1023
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: feels more correct. I trust Sarah Lang with everything in

1024
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: my body. Pros pro. Yeah, she's a pros pro and

1025

1028
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: sinkers colors, that's everything. That's almost ninety percent of all

1029
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: of his pitches and he just puts them everywhere and

1030
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: it's really good. Logan Gilbert also he's throwing less fastballs

1031
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: than he ever had this year, more sly, theer's more curveballs.

1032
